Wow! That looks fantastic. How does it sound? What model of Taylor? Interesting to see a guitar related item on this site. I graduated as a guitar major from University of British Columbia and always like to see the special Les Paul historic paint jobs and other innovative works....HOW BOUT A VKING GIBSON DOVE!? lol

Best sounding acoustic for the money! Went in guitar center to waste time couldnt put it down. 110 series. Bought it for a "beat em up guitar". And to test my wood stainin skills. Didn't have the nuts to draw on my maton. Trying to draw out some pinstriping design for the vector now!

What I did....sanded down the top, covered the top with a piece of sticky shelf liner (flat *** possible), drew out the image, with an exacto knife cut out the darkest tone, using the darkest stain put a couple of coats on, (be careful not to soak wood spruce usually the top is a super soft wood and if u soak it it will bleed) , then cut next tone out repeating process going from darkest to lightest tones until finished.

I found afterwards they make wood stain pens ( a lot like a paint pen) that u can get at arts and crafts store
